Agree, and after a couple of more tries my economy boosts faster going for the Italian/ Sicialian rebels even if I loose a settlement in Greece. I´ve in every game sucessfully allied with bothe the KH and the Dacians. The latter was easy to convince to attack M from the north, he he!
So the best strat with E is to gather all your expendable forces in Kalabria (upgrade) and take Rhegion, Messana, Syrakousai and even Lilibeo. Karth are suckers for peacedeals and you´ll be able to squeeze them for 5k for a ceasefire. Ally with Romani, KH and Dacia and you´re all set to return to Greeze and whipe out the M. Eventually taking Thermon (Olympos) will not improve your standings with KH so you´ll be able to take them out too.
